Jesus its posts like this that drive me nuts......
Just who exactly on this forum do you think is going to have specific access to Nintendo's financial accounts and forecasts for the 2008/09 tax year ?!
I mean, just WHAT answer were you actually expecting ?!

They are selling every console they can ship to Britain.
Its outselling the PS3 4:1 in Japan.
Its now got a larger userbase then the X Box360.

Do you see any reason for them to drop the price yet?
After xmas, yes, it will more than likely drop - they can afford to (its only basically a faster Gamecube inside with a proprietry controller tacked on)
